Definitions

• the present invention relates to an industrially advantageous process for producing halogenated heteroaryl compounds useful in the chemical industries especially in the field of pharmaceuticals.
• halogenated heteroaryl compounds have been produced by reacting hydroxyheteroaryl compounds with thionyl halides, phosphorus oxyhalides, phosphorus trihalides or phosphorus pentahalides. These prior processes of production, however, require so severe conditions as industrially undesirable. For instance, John B. Pain III [J. Heterocyclic Chem., Vol. 24, Page 351 (1987)] and others produced halogenated heteroaryl compounds by adding a hydroxyheteroaryl compound to boiling phosphorus tribromide (bp. 173° C.). However, it is difficult to control the reaction because this reaction causes a violent generation of heat.
• the present inventors conducted extensive studies to find a process for producing halogenated heteroaryl compound which comprises reacting a hydroxyheteroaryl compound with a quaternary ammonium halide in the presence of phosphorus pentoxide. Based on this finding, the present invention has been accomplished.
